Skilling Rohtak girls, the Rotary way

Girls in Rohtak have a reason to smile now. With the Sewing Skill Training Centre launched by RC Rohtak City, D 3011, in collaboration with Singer India Ltd, they can now get trained in tailoring. The facility with 21 sewing machines and two trainers to impart skills to young women was inaugurated in June at the Government Girls Senior Secondary School.

According to Mukesh Gera, Assistant Governor  and charter president of the club, “about 192 students of Classes 9 and 11 are being trained in tailoring and embroidery which will help them pursue the vocation to earn a livelihood.” While free health camps in slums are a regular feature, the club’s physiotherapy centre in Janata Colony has become a hub of healthcare offering prescribed exercises to patients of all age groups.
